BREAKING - Possible Meteor Impact Northern Nevada

Sounds like "something" (X-37B maybe?) made a high rate of descent approach from the northwest, needed to bleed off a little more speed so extended
the base leg of the approach before turning south for landing at Groom Lake.

Some witnesses reported a double sonic boom like the shuttle approach.

We/ Our planet is currently coming to the end of the well known and very well studied, referenced and extremely well known phenomenon called the
"Lyrid meteor shower' it happens often as do occasional impacts from this shower.

"The Lyrids are a meteor shower lasting from April 16 to April 26[1] each year. The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra,
peaking at April 22—hence they are also called the Alpha Lyrids or April Lyrids. The source of the meteor shower is particles of dust shed in the
cometary tail generated by the periodic Comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher.[2] The Lyrids have been observed for the past 2600 years.[2]""

ugh...this website IS about 'denying' not accomodating ignorance isnt it?

The results are in from last summer’s attempt to test new technology that would provide the Pentagon with a lightning-fast vehicle, capable of
delivering a military strike anywhere in the world in less than an hour.

In August the Pentagon's research arm, known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, carried out a test flight of an experimental
aircraft capable of traveling at 20 times the speed of sound.

The arrowhead-shaped unmanned aircraft, dubbed Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2, blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base, northwest of Santa
Barbara, into the upper reaches of the Earth's atmosphere aboard an eight-story Minotaur IV rocket made by Orbital Sciences Corp.

After reaching an undisclosed altitude, the aircraft jettisoned from its protective cover atop the rocket, then nose-dived back toward Earth, leveled
out and glided above the Pacific at 20 times the speed of sound, or Mach 20.

The plan was for the Falcon to speed westward for about 30 minutes before plunging into the ocean near Kwajalein Atoll, about 4,000 miles from
Vandenberg.

But it was ended about nine minutes into flight for unknown reasons. The launch had received worldwide attention and much fanfare, but officials
didn’t provide much information on why the launch failed.

On Friday, DARPA said in a statement that the searing high speeds caused portions of the Falcon’s skin to peel from the aerostructure. The resulting
gaps created strong shock waves around the vehicle as it traveled nearly 13,000 mph, causing it to roll abruptly.

The Falcon, which is built by Lockheed Martin Corp., is made of durable carbon composite material, which was expected to keep the aircraft's crucial
internal electronics and avionics -- only a few inches away from the surface -- safe from the fiery hypersonic flight. Surface temperatures on the
Falcon were expected to reach more than 3,500 degrees, hot enough to melt steel.

“The initial shock wave disturbances experienced during second flight, from which the vehicle was able to recover and continue controlled flight,
exceeded by more than 100 times what the vehicle was designed to withstand,” DARPA Acting Director Kaigham J. Gabriel said in a statement.
“That’s a major validation that we’re advancing our understanding of aerodynamic control for hypersonic flight.”

The flight successfully demonstrated stable aerodynamically controlled flight at speeds up to Mach 20 for nearly three minutes.

Sustaining hypersonic flight has been an extremely difficult task for aeronautical engineers over the years. While supersonic means that an object is
traveling faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1, "hypersonic" refers to an aircraft going five times that speed or more.

The Falcon hit Mach 20. At that speed, an aircraft could zoom from Los Angeles to New York in less than 12 minutes -- 22 times faster than a
commercial airliner. Take a look at what that looks like from the ground in the video below.

The August launch was the second flight of the Falcon technology. The first flight, which took place in April 2010, also ended prematurely with only
nine minutes of flight time.

There aren’t any more flights scheduled for the Falcon program, which began in 2003 and cost taxpayers about $320 million

The RSOE second update states that it was a bright green fireball and extremely visible in bright daylight. The explosion was rare and indicates that
fragments likely survived. And it is also unlikely to be related to the Lyrid meteor shower. And is was also likely not much bigger than a washing
machine. Visit the link for a very detailed report.

Yeah....8:20 sounds about right. Like I said, I was outside, so didn't know the exact time. I'm sorry no one else noticed the chem trails as I
thought that was a very strange coincidence indeed....I was driving just outside of Pine Grove at the time so to bad your GF didn't see them
